Prerequisite Program

If you would like to start a graduate or professional degree
program, but don't have the necessary science prerequisites, you
may complete that coursework in National University's Prerequisite
Program. (Note: This program is only offered on our Lombard
campus.)

Why Complete Your Prerequisites at
National?

Receive a 50% tuition discount on prerequisite
coursework (if applying to the DC or ND programs)

Learn from faculty teaching in the first professional
programs

Choose the format that works for you (accelerated or
traditional)

Courses are offered in two accelerated 8-week sessions or a
traditional 15-week session. This allows you to take the classes at
the pace that best suits your learning style and your educational
goals.

Classes are scheduled on weekday evenings with laboratories on
Saturdays. Each class allows you to earn a full three or four
semester hours of credit, depending on its required laboratory
component.

The Prerequisite Program allows you to get to know National
University professors, and become familiar with the campus. This
puts you at an advantage when you begin your advanced degree. We
also welcome students who wish to fulfill requirements for programs
at other schools.

Students enrolled in the Prerequisite Program are eligible to
for on-campus student housing. Additionally, they are eligible to
receive financial aid if certain qualifications are met.
